Nope, its fine on highway.Clearly it is.
Otherwise you wouldn't be searching for tires to make it quiet.

I own the SE Value Edition, with 16" tires, which are smoother and quieter than 17" tires.Copy and paste from an unbiased test on a 2017 Elantra:
But driving the Elantra is an ordinary affair rather than an enjoyable experience. Handling remains sound and secure, but this Hyundai won't challenge the sportiest among the compact car bunch, such as the Ford Focus, Mazda3, and Volkswagen Jetta. An Elantra Sport version adds more power and has a different, upgraded rear suspension.
At first blush, the ride is agreeable but when challenged on sharp bumps, it loses some of its resilience and composure. The Elantra's refinement takes a further hit from the boisterous engine and noticeable road noise.
Hyundai has built a reputation on providing value. But while the base SE automatic starts at $18,985, it's missing some crucial equipment, like a backup camera and Bluetooth. Even so, adding those via the Popular Equipment package still keeps the price tag at a competitive $19,785. The standard cloth seats are only so-so, but the top Limited trim provides leather and power seats that improve support.
As expected from a newly-introduced car, advanced safety equipment is added to the options list. Blind-spot detection is available on the mainstream SE version, and it comes standard on Eco and Limited trims. But it's too bad that forward-collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane assist, and adaptive cruise control are available only on top-level cars like a Limited with the Ultimate package, bringing the price to a hefty $27,585. These important safety features should be available at lower price points, if not standard.
Overall, the Elantra is a modest step ahead. In terms of room, user-friendliness, frugal fuel consumption, and value the new Elantra is a resounding success. But we wish it was quieter and more comfortable riding.
Upside down, its all the same though.
Change vehicle. That might resolve your noise issue.Hi,
What premium touring tire would be the absolute smoothest and quietest riding with the longest tread life for my 2017 Hyundai ELantra Value Edition? My tire size is 205/55/16 H rated.
I am a conservative driver.
Please list 2-3 of the top choices. I would especially like to hear from 2017-2019 Elantra owners who have upgraded from their OEM tires!
Thanks

No thanks! My 2017 Elantra has been flawless for 60K and I consistently get 34-35MPG!Change vehicle. That might resolve your noise issue.
Compared to my 2013 and 2015 Civic EX sedans.Compared to what?
It's all relative.
No thanks! My 2017 Elantra has been flawless for 60K and I consistently get 34-35MPG! Transmission shifts smoothly. Changed out ATF at 40K. My goal is 250K.
A crv? I suppose on very nice new paved 55 roads, almost anything is pretty quiet. Even my Focus is fine for that, no yelling required.Compared to what?
It's all relative.
OK, what does that have to do with noise? It gets that mpg bcs. sound insulation is non-existant.No thanks! My 2017 Elantra has been flawless for 60K and I consistently get 34-35MPG!
Again, to me, my Elantra is NOT loud. I never got the tires. At 60K ,still OEM Kumho's.OK, what does that have to do with noise? It gets that mpg bcs. sound insulation is non-existant.
Which tires did you get two years ago when you asked for the first time?
But I will play this game, get Michelin, any Michelin.
